I think the head of state is always present in some way on the field of battle, even in cases where it might not make a complete amount of sense (like capturing the Pope during a crusade).

They're frequently (always?) the head of their capital Levy and supersede other commanders iirc, so the pope is almost always leading troops in the field during crusades.

Yeah, it happens a lot. Is there any sure way of preventing your ruler from being in an army? The only way I know is by not raising my personal levies, which is not an option for most of the game.

there is, put your ruler in charge of your smallest levy and then send him out to sea on a boat

ELECTRONIC OLD MEN RUNNING THE WORLD
Christ, that was a fun first decade of rule, constant plots against me, one rebellion over crown authority, one over a duchy and one just because from the peasants. Managed to fight them off before the Duke of Kent decided he wanted one of my counties and called three other dukes to help. Hired the most expensive mercs in the game to turn back a huge deathstack, getting my young king wounded in the process, dismissed them just before the money ran out, had my last 4K soldiers wander through England trying to get my dire warscore into 'white peace' territory. Got it to -5%, fight 2K troops in Lancaster (which is where I live irl!) and guess what happens? Capture the loving Duke of Kent. 100% warscore, we win, they gently caress off for ever.

Oh, and about 5 minutes after the King got home, his wife is pregnant. My vassals mostly like me now. Not a bad day at the office.

Somewhere in between all this the HRE wanted my French county I worked so hard for. I just gave it to them because HRE and two other wars.

Sometimes, when you make yourself look foolish, it's just better to be quiet than speak up. I say this from experience friend. :)

Also I wish there were a "random succession" mod too, that would also force muslims to use different ones. With errybody tribal and shattered, the muslims tend to blob a bit too early unless they get hit by a random religion.

On the other hand, it does mean you have someone to fight as the player later on that's a slight challenge. So there is that.

How do I fill out my flanks? I tried clicking all kinds of buttons in the army menu to spread troops out from the center flank but couldn't figure out how. I clicked 'Reorganize Army' and couldn't move any units around. I want to like this game but the combat interface is terrible, it's supposed to be simple and not the focus of the game.

Also someone come up with a title that isn't a pun on the word Horde because ten years of World of Warcraft means no matter how inventive you are it's not going to be original.

It might be fun to conquer it and hand the crown off to a talented relative/2nd son one day. Spread your dynasty far and wide. I wouldn't really bother holding it myself.

Just what I was going to say, permanent allies are better than constantly rebelling vassals. Make your own Karling clusterfuck. If you have enough spare kinsmen give them all dutchies in the new land and give the king title to a kinsman who ideally won't ever have a claim on your primary title. Eventually this generates a vast pool of spare kinsmen who have no claims on your titles.

If you can revoke other religions without penalty revoke everything and replace every single count and barony with your own dudes. That way in the future you'll have more people of your own culture and religion to marry or recruit.

This.

Also, here's a new PlagueMod update. https://www.dropbox.com/s/3iod03cll48p4fn/enhanced_black_death%20%288%29.zip?dl=0

It's also been updated on Steam.

This update removes a bug that was preventing a few flavor events from spawning.

Speaking of which, I'd like to add some more for variety, so does anyone have some ideas?

There should be an option to attempt to pray the plague away with a massive group prayer that has a large chance to kill everyone and a small chance to give a huge amount of piety and maybe a nickname.

Best part about doing this, is that even if you lose all your titles somehow you'll just switch over to be some other landed dynasty member. It's like having extra lives.
